Create, Merge, Share PDF Documents
One of the problems in the past with multiple Operating Systems and versions, was that you could not easily share a document from a UNIX machine with a Windows machine, or a Mac. These days this is no longer an issue and great solutions that look beautiful can now be used. Hopefully this blog entry helps you remember this and start doing it this way too.
Crossover Games and Counterstrike: Source on a Mac
Yes! It’s possible. There .. that should answer the question of ‘Can I run Counterstrike: Source and Half Life 2, etc on my Mac?’ Now let me explain how I’ve experienced it.
Upgraded my ISP Account
A small update about my ISP account. I do not have an HDTV and won’t be getting one any time soon (unless I get lucky and get a load of money suddenly) so now that my ISP (UPC.nl) has introduced new accounts with discounts it was worth looking into it to see if I could save some money. Not really, just a bit, but I got more in return for it.
What. No Blog Today?
That’s correct, there are too many things going on today in my offline and online live that require me to put priority on that instead of my blog. Check back tomorrow when we have some ‘facts’ about todays Macworld. I will try to share my opinion and thoughts. So please check back soon.
Using my Mac Software
When dealing with data such as a video file, audio file, text document, spreadsheet and such, I have always been told to use a office solution of some kind. Something that ties things together. So when I moved away from Windows to a Mac solution I have purchased additional software solutions to replace for example Microsoft Office. I’ve also tried out a lot of open source solutions. And while there are great programs out there that do the job, I still felt like I was perhaps missing out on something. Leopard provided the solution.
Reposting Blog Entries Part 2 of 5
No new blog entries today, I am having a very busy day. I thought this would be a great time to repost a few of my old blog entries. I will do this a few more times in the future so I slowly restore the lost entries. So check them out if you haven’t already.
MacBreak Tech Podcast
So, today I think it’s time to let everybody know I have tried to avoid listening to Mac Break Tech from PixelCorps.tv. I expected it to be like Mac Break Video, short tech chats about something trivial. I used to love Mac Break Video, but now it’s just about that moron who has a book on how to do something with the Mac (final cut or who cares really). So I thought this would suck. Verdict: It doesn’t!
Quiet Blog Day
I have a million things I want to talk about, but I am knackered and have a million things to do, sorry .. unless I wake up before midnight later today, no blog today.
News I do want to talk about: New Mac Pro by Apple Inc.
But, I already have one, .. so not really interested
CES 2008
CES 2008 has started and all the tech sites are going crazy over it. They’re posting the thinnest and largest monitor, the easiest new devices and the super cool technology etc. Personally I am not impressed, but I should be.



Powerbook Upgraded to 2GB RAM
It used to be quite expensive to order a few gigs for the Powerbook, especially from Apple.com – but now Kingston has some proper 2x 1GB ram sticks for the latest edition of the November 2005 Powerbooks. I paid 30 euro incl. shipping. So nice.
